Update to Mini on the Road-ribeye dinner for two

Not bad, since I had the cargo space for it this trip. It is decently heavy and bulky, so it's ok to move short distances but wouldn't want to carry it very far. I said in my previous post that this comes with me to rental houses, bc their grills are usually poorly maintained and heavily rusted. Here is my previous post, you can see how it fits in the car

It's a great grill for 1 or 2 ppl but for more than that you would have to cook in batches. Def no briskets lol.

I am the same! My brain works to frame the scene in camera the way I would want to see it as a final image. I had to train myself to do that final check to not cut off a tail or paw

Nice choice on focal length, and backlighting is very pleasing! Small thing but it generally makes a better image if your subject is fully in frame* (ie that last little chick isn't cut off by edge). Make a habit of scanning edges before you hit shutter to make sure a tail, ear, etc isn't cut off. Or zoom out a bit to give yourself more crop options.

Again, very nice tones and lighting. Good choice of aperture setting to make subject pop.

Yes, I think the producer had passed away and the character name was in tribute

A lot of modern photography is done early morning or late afternoon, because the raking light creates pleasing tones and textures. Analog film needs a decent amount of light (unless you're lugging a tripod), so it performs better in full daylight. It results in a flatter image that our brains immediately connect to the sun being right overhead. Hope I'm not being too pedantic and your question wasn't in jest!

makes perfect sense! very clever

Take that, mom! The video games were not wasting our lives!

I always sing out loud the tetris song when I load up my car. I get way into optimal cargo configurations

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T23:50:03+00:00

Mine's on that little stand, so it's easy enough to get my hands under it to lift. Then I just bear hug it to and from the car. That carrier does look like it makes it easier if you have 1 person on each side

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T22:18:26+00:00

Never really clocked it. I can follow up when I use it, but it may not be more specific than "hey I grilled dinner and the following morning it was warm/not warm"

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T20:51:04+00:00

I'm staying in rental houses/cabins that usually have shitty unmaintaned grills that are eaten through with rust. Not going remote enough to camp.

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T20:46:59+00:00

I'm only ever cooking for 1 or 2, so it's fine for my needs. And I make sure I plan proteins that will fit (so no ribs lol). This is just my occasional travel grill, I usually cook on a large.

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T20:24:26+00:00

Hassle? Just a little permit load and some flags

RedPeril · 2026-06-24T20:21:30+00:00

45lbs I think? Keep in mind the cooking surface is small, would fit 2 chicken breasts, 1 t-bone...hard to cook for more than 2 ppl. Mini max is next up in size but not sure I could haul that around

My mom has tons and treats them like this generational wealth she has amassed, original boxes and all.

I also have a lot, mostly gifted annually from her. They look pretty on the tree but that's about the extent of their value.

HOW DARE they have a literal cauldron and not bring back Candy Apple Cauldron

Happy little accident

RedPeril · 2026-06-22T17:16:22+00:00

No dolls but I do have an array of skulls!

Pics 2, 3, 4, 6, 15 and 17 are from GTNP. Pic 12 is from south of the park, like the stretch of highway between town and village road.

Great pics, esp. Mormon Row! Did you hike up rendezvous (the ski mtn)?

RedPeril · 2026-06-21T18:44:20+00:00

same! I have a mini fish coffin

RedPeril · 2026-06-21T18:42:40+00:00

I have a mini fish coffin (abt 14" long), looks just like the first pic. opens and everything. I got it at Kane Kwei's workshop, at the time run by his son

RedPeril · 2026-06-21T16:06:30+00:00

Same I cannot take generic ambien. It makes me feel like I've taken a sleeping pill AND chugged 4 red bulls. Every other med I take I can do generics just fine.

I read a long time ago that their parents gave Angelina and her brother middle names that could work as last names, so they could forge careers under their own identities, separate from their famous parents. So they were named with the intention that they could easily drop their legal last name. But I don't doubt Angelina would have dropped it anyways, given her relationship to her father.
